Even as the circulating severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) strains seem to be evolving in different directions, the dominant strain continues to be that which possesses the D614G mutation in the spike protein. A new study published in the preprint server bioRxiv* in November 2020 reports that the effect of the mutation is minimal, in terms of pathogenicity or altered response to neutralizing antibodies elicited against the native virus strain.
